Agenda:
20 mins - Pizza, Coke and Networking
60 mins - Next Generation Silverlight Web Apps by Greg Harris
Greg will be providing an overview of Microsoft's new Silverlight technology, followed by reviewing
sample applications to highlight the power of Silverlight. The remainder of the presentation will
show how to complete typical programming tasks utilising Silverlight.
The talk will focus on Silverlight 2 functionality as released at the MIX
conference during March.
Silverlight is Microsoft's new cross platform browser plugin. This provides
Rich Internet Application (RIA) user experiences by providing core dot NET
common language runtime functionality within the browser. This means that
windows style applications are able to run within the browser. Silverlight
also supports many rich media display options, such as vector graphics,
animation and audiovisual playback.
Silverlight is cross platform, currently supported on Macintosh, Linux and MS Windows.
Silverlight is radically changing the RIA landscape. Currently there are 1.5
million Silverlight downloads a day, this technology will be used by NBC for
Internet streaming video coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Silverlight competes in the same space as Adobe Flash / Flex.
Greg is an independent consultant/developer specialising in Microsoft tools.
His recent focus has been on the new Silverlight tool set. Greg will be
sharing knowledge recently acquired at conferences during March.
